3783.0. "GVP (and other) 030 accs" by FENRYS::mwm (Mike (Owner of a Fake Amiga) Meyer) Tue May 15 1990 17:13

I'm seriously considering purchasing the GVP 28MHz 030 card. It's got most
of the right features (available with no memory, and I can add memory
at home w/out being insane), and about the right price. Got to wait and see
what the developers price on the 2630 is like.

Question 1) Anyone have any expierence with the GVP cards? Comments, either
	good or bad?

Question 2) Has anyone tried using the DS[32]100 SIMMs on a 32 bit acc card
	(or anything else, for that matter) that accepts SIMMs?

	Thanx,

    	I have been using the GVP 030/882 card for long time. The unit
    works well. As with any 030 or 020 card much of the speed-up requires
    32 bit RAM. I have 4MB and have never run out of RAM. One nice feature
    that GVP offers is upgrades. ANY GVP 030 can be upgraded for the 
    difference in retail price. For a 28 to 33 MHZ with 4 MB RAM is cost
    about $750. They replace PALs, CPU, RAM, ... and test the board.
    
    	If you have any more questions send me mail.
